Description

One in five Americans lives with a mental health condition, half of which begin by age 14?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate only 17% of adults in the U.S. are considered to be in an optimal state of mental health?

There is a strong correlation between mental health and other chronic conditions such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes and heart disease?

Aside from the health threats associated with mental illness, these facts present yet another troubling challenge: the projected total cost of mental health conditions in the U.S. is $3.6 trillion dollars, from 2016 to 2030.

At this complimentary seminar hosted by the California Partnership for Access to Treatment (CPAT), we will explore the human and economic burden of mental illness on California. Hear from a variety of specialists and patient advocate experts about mental health spending, opportunities for change, and solutions such as access to treatments, adherence, early detection and timely access to care.
